Hello Good news and bad news

02-08-2008 3:13 AM

Hello All,
The good news is that grassroots.org has approved our orgs. application for FREE web hosting and design help.
Bad news I'm still the non tech person.
My free options 1. Basic silver hosting package w/o webbuilder but
with Webby(what is webby?)
2. using a free site builder @doodlekit.com
Any insite, advice, anything would be so much help.

Is there someone there who might be able to answer those questions? In particular, since they offer "design help", it sounds like you might actually get to talk to a real person. :)

My guess -- and this is just a guess since I'm not familiar with that service -- is that option #2 will give you a sort of "wizard" that will help you design your pages (i.e. you'd get to select from pre-defined layouts, color schemes, fonts, etc). Option #1 doesn't seem to include that, unless that's what "Webby" is.

#2 might get your site up and running quicker; but again, you'll want to check the details with grassroots.org to make sure.

Well I spoke, w/grassroots.org and they are leaning toward tierraNet what free services grassroots.org provides is a silver web hosting site. I was in the process of revamping our old site on tierraNet also but with a web building package. Hopefully over the weekend I'll figure out something.
Question: Is the a site (free or low$$) where I can download templates, wizards,form builders etc?

Well I made a choice and we'll see what happens, grassroots.org will provide web-hosting ad our org will pay for the web builder package so I can do the design and maintain it.
